Heliolithic [adj] (of a civilization) marked by the practice of sun worship and the erecting of megaliths. [Gk Helios, the sun + lithic, of a stage of man's development within the Stone Age]
(this being the erecting of large stones in patterns, i.e. stonehenge and the hurlers)
This is one of those words that one could appropriate for something in the realms of fantasy. What if those stone megaliths meant more than worhip? I like the theory that stonehenge is a calendar, built to track and mark the movement of the sun. But how did they get there? Were they placed by men, or by magic? Also, hardly anyone ever mentions the hurlers, or the other monuments all over Europe or similar stripe… hrm… the wheels, they are turning.
